The new official HI user interface for menus that used to appear in Mac OS 9
menu bar icons or Mac OS X Dock Extras is the application menu that a
developer can install in an application's Dock icon. So, maybe Apple could
implement ScriptMenu's functionality in a Dock menu for Script Editor (not
likely), or maybe Mark Alldritt could do it off the Script Debugger 3.0 Dock
icon. The problem with this is that, I believe, the application must be
running in order to access the menu, even if the application icon is
installed in the Dock.
What would make sense to me would be to use an interface similar to
that for Services. Shouldn't Services really be in the Apple menu
rather than the application menu anyway, or better yet have their own
menu (which could include script sub-menus--OK, I know scripting and
services are different animals, but to the user the functionality is
similar)?
